Recording studio

don't you have mixers and Eq in your studio? Theoretically you should never use them as you are altering the signal from the the microphones. Using a guitar is no worse than their presence in a studio.


What the instrument does is to subtly alter the tonality and the balance.

Guitars being very midrangy add a midrange presence, by slightly increasing the volume in that area. In increasing the volume even by a small amount (say 1/2 dB), more detail, previously hidden in the mix,becomes more obvious.

I find the interesting thing about this is that the guitar does not electronically alter the sound. There are no phase shifts, etc., just a fullness and a slight lushness, if you can call it that, which is more consonant with what I hear in real life.

Again you are welcome to disagree,
